Embiid listed as doubtful for 76ers’ Game 4 vs Nets

"We have the pieces to get games, to complete games and I think everybody in the organization knows that", Simmons said.

Simmons' stunning performance came after Nets star Jared Dudley called him an "average" half-court player and Brooklyn fans put up a poster mocking his non-existent jump shot outside the stadium. He added nine assists and eventually quieted a crowd that loudly booed him every time he touched the ball early.

Harris also pulled down a playoff career-high 15 rebounds in the win.

"Embiid may be "The centrepiece", as (coach Brett) Brown refers to him, but that makes Simmons a cornerstone". Embiid was doubtful coming into the game with a knee injury, but he ultimately started and played.

Ben Simmons scored a game-high 31 points and dished out nine assists to lead Philadelphia to the win. "It was big for us". "So just had to be aggressive from the start". D'Angelo Russell led the team with 26 points but was just 2 of 9 from 3-point land. For much of Game 3, the Nets looked disjointed on both offense and defense despite closing within seven late in the third quarter.

Over the weekend, the Philadelphia 76ers hit the court and decided that only Jimmy Butler was going to show up in their first round game against the Brooklyn Nets. They went about 4 1/2 minutes without a basket and Philadelphia took advantage to lead 32-24 after one.

Kevin Durant was fantastic for Golden State as he finished with 38 points on 14-of-23 shooting.

Lou Williams, who led the greatest comeback in play-off history with 36 points in Game 2, was held to just 16 points. He finished with 19 points in the period.

But there was little to cheer about in China, which remains rooted to the bottom of the list with the fourth worst record. SPAIN has ranked 29 on a table of the countries with the most press freedom, up two places compared to previous year .

Before the game, Embiid also reiterated his apology to Nets center Jarrett Allen, whom he struck in the face with his elbow in Game 2, drawing a flagrant foul 1 after an officials review.

According to oddsmakers, the 76ers are favored on the road, as they are getting odds of -1.5 points against the Nets. He shot 9-11 from the foul line. The Sixers, the No. 3 seed in the East, lead the best-of-seven series 2-1 after back-to-back offensive outbursts that saw them score 276 combined points.

Philadelphia center Boban Marjanovic came off the bench and registered a surprising 14 points, along with eight rebounds, against the Nets. Brooklyn came out flat despite a bunch of pre-game hype surrounding perceived disrespect from Embiid and Simmons following Game 3.

The companion NIH trial evaluating the gene therapy in older children and young adults also is continuing to enroll participants. For years, stem-cell transplantation from a matched sibling was a patient's best hope for survival, Mamcarz said.

But one adjustment that the Sixers made in Game 3 was to (literally) tighten things up a bit. Joe Harris was one of the best in the National Basketball Association from deep during the season and won the All-Star Game 3-Point Contest but hasn't made a three-pointer in the past two games and is averaging just 8.3 points in the series. The point guard matched his overall career high with 26 points in the first half.
